6 cm x 3 — 4 mm), below the fugacious veil sparingly clad with fibril- 

 lous squamules of the same colour as the cap. Cavity of stem 

 filled with fibrillous down. Gills free, white with a slight yellow- 

 ish tinge. 



From the typical L. helveola it differs in having smaller spores. 

 Not unlikely it is the variety Barlce Bres., mentioned in »Fungi 

 Tridentini«, vol. II, but I have not seen the figure. — The 

 plant described by Quélet (1. cit.) as L. helveola seems to be L. 

 Forquignoni. 



16. L. albo-sericea P. Henn. 



Spores projectile-shaped, 9 x 47a u- Gystidia hair-shaped, about 

 5 u. broad. Basidia 4-spored. 



Fig. specim.: »Fjellebro«. On leaf-mouldy ground under Æscu- 

 lus in park, Sept. 1909. 



Cap I 1 /., — 27a cm, campanulate, then expanded-gibbous, white, 

 centre with a slight tinge of brownish, at first smooth, then slightly 

 silky-fibrillous and adpressedly squamulose, edge at last some- 

 what grooved. Stem about 4 cm x 2—3 mm (base slightly bulbous), 

 white, then somewhat brownish-red (especially the base and the 

 inside), below the ring slightly cottony squamulose-tomentose. 

 Ring white, membranaceous, soon split, mostly attached to the 

 edge. Gills free, but not remote, cream-white, rather crowded. 

 Odour faint and not so disagreable as in L. cristata. 



I refer this plant to L. albo-sericea P. Henn. ; but most likely 

 several other (and older) names are synonyms. Thus the bigger 

 form of L. paruannulata (which is said to have a hairy-silky 

 cap) may be identical, and the same, not unlikely, is the case 

 with L. serena Fr. 



y. BREVISPORÆ. 



17. L. Forquignoni Quel. (Plate I, fig. d.) 



Spores oval or ovate, 6— 7 x 3 1 /.— 4 u. (1914: Cystidia obtusely 

 fusiform, about 30 x 7—8 u). 



Fig. specim.: Vormark Mølleskov, a few specimens among 

 sticks and foliage, in wood of Picea, Oct. 1900. — Rather rare, 

 in coniferous woods. 



The cap varies somewhat in colour, being in some cases more 

 fulvo-ochraceous. The gills are sometimes very broad. Slender 

 and ochraceous forms may be mistaken for L. metulispora (if 

 the spores be not examined). Both species are characterised by 

 the minute, pointed, erect squamules in the middle of the cap, 

 formed by somewhat agglutinated hairs. It has a very faint 

 sweetish odour. 



18. L. Morieri Gill. (?) 



Spores oval, 5 1 /« x 2 3 / 4 u-. Cystidia obovate, about 10 u broad. 



Fig. specim.: Tarup near Odense, on lawn in old shady 

 garden, solitary, Aug. 1897.
